Epimedium Sexual Wellness Capsules (120)

Our Epimedium Sexual Wellness Capsules, despite the somewhat silly name (Horny Goat Weed), is actually a scientifically-proven and pharmacologically active sexual wellness herb. It’s also an ancient herb with use traced back to traditional Chinese medicine, “as an aphrodisiac, potency agent, and impotence.” In Chinese, the name is “Yin Yang Huo”, which translates into “obscene goat weed” or “licentious goat weed”. It’s a revered herb, and in Chinese medicine it’s considered one of the most potent on the sexual wellness menu.*

Thais ancient herb has actually endured tests of both time and science and was around long before Viagra was a gleam in a scientist’s eye. In fact, the makers of Viagra tried unsuccessfully to patent the active constituents of Epimedium; a testament to its effectiveness by a pharmaceutical company. What’s more, is that Horny Goat Weed actually contains a PDE5 inhibitor that has been proven in clinical trials to increase blood flow to the penis.

Talk about an amazing way to directly help support a healthier sexual drive and increase confidence for males!

As a result, this sexual wellness herb seems to be one of the most common ones utilized in marketing-hyped penile enhancement pills, and is gaining ground on the #1 spot that Yohimbe currently holds. (Yohimbe can cause complications and unpleasant side effects, so the FDA discourages use of it, although it’s 100% legal and available over the counter.) As another added bonus, Horny Goat Weed contains several significant nutrients that may also have a direct effect on sexuality.

Science of Epumedium

Pharmacologically, the active constituent called icariin is believed to be responsible for the relaxing of the smooth muscles that allow the penis to become engorged with blood. It also contains Vitamin E, which often called the “sex vitamin” for men, because the genitals reportedly require adequate amounts of Vitamin E to stay young and healthy. As a bonus, the flavonoids in Horny Goat Weed stimulate sensory nerves, especially in the genitals. In 1988, Daniel P. Reid states; “The medicine expands capillaries and larger blood vessels; lowers blood pressure, is often found in recipes for ‘spring wine,’ and helps against absent-mindedness by facilitating blood flow to the brain.” He also cited more than one clinical study that has shown that sperm count and density increases within a few hours of Horny Goat Weed consumption.

In another study focused on Icariin, it was found that ICT can be easily absorbed into the body, and then rapidly conversed to its conjugated metabolites. This is great news for this almost infamously popular herbal aphrodisiac. This helps to increase overall libido and sexual desire, although it’s mostly prescribed for men.

As an added bonus, Horny Goat Weed (Epimedium) is also used to rejuvenate energy, much in the way ginseng is used. So, it’s no surprise that it’s also thought to be an anti-aging herb in traditional Chinese medicine, most-likely because it helps men to feel young again, both physically and emotionally. In folk medicine, Epimedium (Horny Goat Weed) has other uses in addition to being a powerful aphrodisiac. Reportedly, it can help decrease high blood pressure, and may help support a healthy immune system.

It’s common to blend Epimedium with other herbs to enrich and intensify its effects. And, in fact, here at Sextracts Sexual Wellness products, we use Epimedium as the foundation of our Top Selling “EASY RIDER for him” blend, as well as our long-term EASY RIDER Daily Booster Capsules. We offer it here on its own so you can find the best sexual wellness herbs that work for your particular bodily system. Some of the more adventurous customers have even made their own sexual wellness blend suited to their specific body chemistry. What might not work at all for one person, may be the light at the end of a long tunnel for others, and this is part of what can make working with safe, natural herbal products so exciting.
